Research Area:
Research responsibilities are in the broad area of food and bioproducts engineering with particular attention on value-added processing of agricultural commodities and physical properties determination. Concentration of research effort has been on refining of grain sorghum to recover high-value lipids and enhancing food safety through control of foodborne disease agents.
